GSP gets hit way too much, and Silva has had better wrestlers on top of him (Sonnen, Henderson). Also GSP doesn’t really finish fights, so not sure what he would try to do (maybe Sonnen him? and lay on top for a win) Maybe Belfort should fight that young wrestler (Weidman) for the next shot at the title.IDK just want Silva to retire undefeated in the UFC.

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 18:32:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=248682#comment-2671914I honestly was surprised at how good Belfort looked, but he’s not going to beat Silva… The only people that want to see that fight again are Brazilians.
Bisping is such an elusive striker I couldn’t believe Vitor caught him with the same kick twice and nearly knocked him out with it both times.
I’m pumped for this Saturdays fight though!
In regards to the fella:
Yes, I could tell he was a fan of the Lakers, but he didn’t seem fanatical Fairly realistic compared to allot of fans, but maybe I wasn’t catching all his posts.

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 01:32:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=248682#comment-2671658Yeah, Belfort looked tough, don’t know if this was a setup fight for Silva’s next fight but it would be pretty weak to see him fight Silva again, age is catching up with him (Belfort). The WTF? was shock, because I’m pretty sure you read almost every Laker article and Mr.P is pretty fanatical about his Kobe defense, just shocked you never saw it or picked up on it, I guess if maybe he was a Bulls fan or Heat fan you might have seen it earlier.

But its good from a leadersip perspective, it just isnt what everyone is making it out to be.

Anyone that I see as a decent commenter, I will stick up for, whether they like it or not. It’s for me, not you.

I felt nbk went off unwarranted, and for ME, I took a stand on where a felt about “commenter Bob”… Who happened to be you.

You do whatever you damn please online, just as I will, just as nbk will.

On another note: Bulls tonight baby! 🙂 Should be a fun one.

I will say though that I don’t need validation for my opinions from any commenter on this site, and neither should you or anyone else, really. Its a message board, and nobody here is commenting from a perspective other than fandom. Its OK to have an opinion that goes against the beehive mentality.

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 21:37:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=248682#comment-2671575well this season, he (Kobe) has basically deflected all accountability. there is no way i’m going to give him credit for admitting to turnovers or something trivial. this, he’s taking too much credit. which i completely respect. i don’t want to turn this one time where he is being incredibly accountable, and try and spread this out over the past where it doesn’t belong.
.
it’s like finding a spec of gold and telling people you’ve found a gold mine. just be happy with what you have, and go from there.

but if that’s why he was doing that with me then i appreciate that. but i’m not going to change the way i comment for it.

Your not going to go into CAP LOCKS and you will admit to points when they are made. Those are my assumptions.
Your the main commenter on here, so people will try to validate their opinions with you. I think he just wanted you to admit that KB does take the blame more often than he’s given credit for.
He’s given credit, never.(by non fans) And is blamed usually. (by non fans) He was probably looking for a little validation in his claims that KB can take credit for the teams bad moments sometimes, when we have been told that he never does or will.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………..

lol… I can’t wait to check this place out. All the nice hotels (ie Holiday Inn) are like 160 a night… So I checked into Super 8 since it was a bill a night and that’s where the roaches reviews started pouring in lol.

You gotta see it from Lakers fans POV also though. Tough season, and everyone is coming down on our boy KB (despite a great (at least ‘offensive’) year) about it. It hasn’t been rainbows all year, nawwhatymean?
I ended up booking nights at a hotel in Tucson for the festival…. bad idea. Read a few reviews and I guess this place has a roach infestation, and piss stains everywhere… Earths butthole? Can’t deny it… Camping might be better lmao.

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:36:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=248682#comment-2671515no sir, you don’t understand. 1 – i didn’t ask you to respond to me. and didn’t engage you when you did. So it is NOT a discussion. You calling it that, doesn’t make it so. So again, i didn’t ask you to respond to me. Congratulations on doing so. I didn’t say that wasn’t allowed. But just like that situation literally sits, the fact that this isn’t a discussion literally sits the same way. Respond all you want. But don’t expect me to entertain your insistence on defending Kobe when there is no defending to be done. I am going to tell you straight everytime i respond to you. like it or not, that’s how it works.

.

and again, you are either high, or don’t actually read what is said on this website. i have been defending the Lakers and their ridiculous decisions for the logical sense that they do make for the entirety of this whole decrepit season. The only real negative OPINION i’ve had of the Lakers thus far this season is that they will probably not make the playoffs at this point. Other then that, i’ve criticized Kobe for his TEAM defense and lack of accountability (which are real things that have evidence to back them up – denied by you or not). I haven’t said a single thing about how many shots he takes or whatever it is you are referring to when you spout off this ignorance —> “It doesn’t seem like you watch many Laker games outside of the odd TNT/ESPN game, which is why I question most of the claims you make on this board re: the Lakers.”

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:24:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=248682#comment-2671501Intriguing rant.

I will only address 2 points that you said, and you can be rest assured that I won’t be addressing you or your comments on this site moving forward.

” i didn’t ask for you to respond to me”…

Responding to comments on SLAM does not require the permission of the original poster. People comment and post what they want because they have an opinion to offer.

“Don’t do it on one comment that is clearly sarcasm just because you have one nut named after Kobe”

I found this particularly assuming because of your obvious hypocrisy. You make it a point to dive into every Kobe-related thread yourself and do pretty much the same thing that you accuse me or any other Laker fan of doing, but from an opposing perspective – your nuts just itch in a different spot.

Thanks for the debates – they’ve been fun.

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:48:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=248682#comment-2671394Yeah, I would agree with the poor leader assertion. I mean, even during his most successful Laker seasons post-Shaq, it was PJ and Fish that really led the team. Kobe is good at inspiring teammates with this individualistic on-court play, but he clearly does not handle losing very well from a leadership perspective. His solution to problems is to “will through it” or “work hard through it” and that sounds good, but it doesn’t always work.

“Everybody wants to know what’s the reason, whose fault it is and this, that and the other,” Bryant said. “I just made it more easy. You should just point the finger at me. Let me take all that. This way, we won’t have to worry about that as a team. It’s part of my responsibility. I’ll take [the criticism] and we can just focus on what we do best, which is playing together and trying to figure out how to get out of this losing.”

Bryant’s declaration jibes with a comment he made recently, in which he said that nobody remembers why a team lost when they look back at an unsuccessful season. They just remember that they lost.

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:31:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=248682#comment-2671371it’s not a discussion. i didn’t ask for you to respond to me. and when you did, i told you to stop. because YOU, not everyone, YOU, are not going to tell me anything i don’t already know. not trying to offend you, but your view of Kobe is tired. I already understand everything you are going to say about him. I already know, day after day, you will come in and defend him, even for the smallest of things. Like me saying, “story. of. the. year.” – which you obviously took much too literally.

.

So stop, stop responding to me about Kobe when i literally said nothing that is even worth discussing.

.”It doesn’t seem like you watch many Laker games outside of the odd TNT/ESPN game, which is why I question most of the claims you make on this board re: the Lakers.”: – Are you f*cking high? I didn’t say anything about the Lakers. And when i do, i’ve been one of the most optimistic people here about them. You want to have an actual discussion about the Lakers? — fine. Do it somewhere or with someone who actually said something about the Lakers and Kobe Bryant. Don’t do it on one comment that is clearly sarcasm just because you have one nut named after Kobe and it itches everytime you think someone might have said something possibly negative about him.

.
Kobe is taking responsibility for a loss. — everyone knows it isn’t 100% on him, we aren’t 7 year olds who take every word completely literally.
.
stop defending him.
.
especially to me. you aren’t going to tell me anything i don’t already know.

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:14:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=248682#comment-2671356Again, false. He’s blamed himself for turnovers, leadership responsibilities, etc, earlier in the season and takes accountability for defensive lapses as well. That’s not to say that he’s not in the wrong – he was terrible yesterday and had poor shot selection till the 3rd – but I don’t accept the assertion that the loss was entirely on him. The Lakers suck defensively, with or without Kobe in the lineup. Calderon was abusing the crap out of Nash all game.

That Dwight ejection also didn’t help.

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:08:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=248682#comment-2671348Well, to be fair, at one point, the Lakers line up on the floor for 4-5 minutes was Sacre, Clark, Kobe, Duhon, and either Morris or MWP. I believe the Raptors went on a huge run at that time, and Kobe had to shoot (poorly) literally every time down the floor. He was horrible yesterday but so were the rest of his teammates (minus Pau).

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:05:00 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=248682#comment-2671342I was at the game yesterday in Toronto. He really was trying to get the bigs going in the first and second quarter. I was shocked to learn that he had taken 8 shots in the first quarter when I got on Twitter. In person, they all seemed in fluidity with the offense. I remember looking up at half time and he only had like 6 points with 4 assists.

Pau was great down low yesterday. The chemistry between Kobe and Dwight, and even Nash and the rest of the players is still not there. A lot of communication, broken plays, etc. It seems that Kobe and Pau want to do it the old way (more post ups, more triangle-like spancing), whereas Mike and Nash want to do it so that the ball is constantly moving, constantly going from one player to another.

Kobe didn’t even get going until the 3rd/4th. Its funny because you could tell the Lakers didn’t even start trying until there was about 6 minutes left in the 4th.
